Importing Final Cut Pro XML Files (FCP XML Import)

You can import an XML file exported from Final Cut Pro to edit with EDIUS.

  • Bin information loading of Final Cut Pro 7 project files is also supported.

    However, bin information loading is limited to clips and sequence clips. Clips in the “Color bar and tone” folder and “Matte” folder, and “Blackish” clips cannot be loaded.

  • In Final Cut Pro 7, clips of “Digital color bar (100/0/100/0)” or “Digital color bar (100/0/75/)” in “Color bar signal details” are replaced with EDIUS color bar clips of [100/x/100/x Color Bar] or [100/x/75/x Color Bar]. Other color bars are replaced with [SMPTE Color Bar] of EDIUS.

  • Color bar tone levels for Final Cut Pro 7 are supported.

  • If clips with colors specified by “Color Matte” and “Plain” of Final Cut Pro 7 are used, they are replaced with color matte clips of EDIUS. However, alpha of “Color Matte” and “Plain” of Final Cut Pro 7 is not supported.

Note

  • For the Final Cut Pro multi-clip, those selected in the multi-clip are placed to the EDIUS timeline.

  • The following items cannot be restored in EDIUS.

    • Title (text) clip

    • Transition applied to the clip and a blank

    • All transitions other than dissolve (all transitions are replaced with dissolve)
